Griottines are a unique recipe of wild cherries in liqueur and Kirsch. These wild cherries are picked by hand only when the cherries reach the peak of ripeness. Acting quickly, 500 million cherries are harvested each year in a brief three week span. The fruit are then allowed to soak in Kirsch before being jarred in these beautiful glass display bottles.

These divine cherries are perfect for topping ice cream, gelato, or spooning over cake. For a romantic treat, put one or two in a champagne flute before pouring in some bubbly!

Very nice. These cherries are kept in a high quality kirsch liquor. The smell of opening the jar is so overwhelmingly nostalgic to me. The size of the wild cherry's diameter is about .5 inch to .75 inch in diameter. I was hopping for a smaller size cherry.
The cherries are pitted and retain a nice crunch when you bite them. The syrup isn't as thick as I want it to be for uses in pastries but it can be poured into champagne to add a touch of 'wow.'
The jar it came in was scratched up a bit but I could careless about that.
Definitely worth the price for the quality I got.
